Just like the Tories are crowning a new leader and PM now. Just as they did with Theresa May. Just like the unions crowned Ed Miliband. The wider public having no say in any of those, showing how false our democracy truly is when elites want their own way. .

Indeed, they are certainly on the wrong lines at present with what looks like a front wheel DD motor. Quarter ton E-trike box vans have been around for years and are a much better solution than dragging a trailer. I remember A to B testing one that came with either a Heinzmann high torque...

I wish that were true, but as Woosh has replied, it isn't. The Tory party if elected will have the house majority and they wouldn't oppose the will of their loyal membership, so if the latter choose Johnson, he'll be PM. .

Indeed, I've never bothered with the PSA test despite having BPH for 33 years now. My attitude from the beginning was to leave the prostate gland alone and not provoke trouble with a biopsy. It's worked for me for over three decades and still going strong. Aided by tamsulosin for some six years...

Excellent solution Rob. There's no possible reason for objection since all thats needed is a 36 volt battery that delivers the modest current the motor on that Cytronex needs. You've topped that with a very large capacity increase giving far greater range. .

Although that looks logical, it's far from what has been happening. Governments of both persuasions have always backed life extending policies. There's flu jabs for the elderly and some other jabs such as dTpa against hooping cough on offer specifically for over 65s. There's also...

Trouble is they are not the Tory party members who have the vote and who seem strongly pro Boris Johnson. They are predominantly old and very anti EU, hence the attraction of someone who says we'll leave the EU come what may. .

Well it works for dentistry and opthalmology so there's already a system in place. Indeed there's also an in house system in place for charging overseas patients, so I think it could be done. .

Ah, but I did say England and Wales. ;) I wouldn't be so daft as to include Scotland! .

We already have a contributary health service in dentistry and opthalmology where NHS patients pay, but not the whole cost. Perhaps one way is that everyone not on pension credit pays a small amount towards whatever NHS treatment they have. The BBC have chosen pension credit as the defining...

Not enough, there's only half a million of them in England and Wales. It's the 6 millions of 70 to 90 where the bulk troubling the NHS are. Just make the pension from 70 on conditional on completing a half marathon. Wouldn't need to gas anyone then. :) .

I could tell you, but I'd have to mention the naughty bits. .

While I agree with your last sentence, this may change before long, back towards the world of the 1940s and '50s. This is not a swipe at Brexit, just an acknowledgment that if it all goes wrong we could slide back to that former state very quickly. The problem is where we are starting from, a...

We need both, NHS and Private Health Care. When William Beveridge wrote the report that the Attlee government adopted for their welfare and health care reforms, he specified it as a safety net for those needing one, not an all encompassing replacement for everyone. .

But nowhere near as bad as the Tories who are not only not clever enough to do it either, but manage to enrich those who are already wealthy and send hard working poor to food banks. The answer is balance, giving each periods of government as we used to have, each restraining the other to avoid...

I hope he gets the chance, proving just how wrong all the anti-Corbyn Tory propaganda has been. it's just the privileged desperate to avoid another Attlee style socialist government. We saw the same in the USA with all the false anti-Obama propaganda by the Republicans, calling him a communist...

That's phonetic. It's actually spelt pomme de terre a la dauphinoise, but the last word in French is pronounced rather like dauphinwaz. .

From Wikipedia: The Philips CD-i (an abbreviation of Compact Disc Interactive) is an interactive multimedia CD player developed and marketed by Dutch company Philips, who supported it from December 1991 to late 1998. It was created to provide more functionality than an audio CD player or game...

I don't know, but it probably is. Coincidences are a very unreliable indicator of anything untoward, since they are far more common than it might be thought. For example, many years ago having just met someone for the first time we realised that we both had the same initials and both had one...

Perhaps the EU deserves a medal for services to bureaucracy. ;) Seriously though, the H & S agenda did do much good in improving working conditions, including saving many lives. .
